We are delighted to bring you the Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment Review!

As mums we have all, at one point in time sought out the best nappy rash product in Australia to treat our little one’s rash, and it can be difficult to know which brand to choose. This is why we’re trilled to select a team of mums for the Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment Review, so they can try the ointment at home with their little ones, and let other mums know if they rate this as one of the best nappy rash products.

How does the Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment dual action help to heal and protect against nappy rash?

  • The Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment helps protect against nappy rash by providing a long lasting breathable waterproof barrier, keeping the skin hydrated. This barrier helps to protect baby’s skin from the irritants that cause nappy rash.
  • It contains pro-vitamin B5 which promotes the natural healing process by stimulating the regeneration of new skin cells, giving skin a helping hand.
  • It creates a protective film over the skin, stopping moisture escaping, preventing further drying and helping to stop aggressors from permeating the skin.
  • It’s specifically formulated for baby’s delicate skin.
  • It’s free from all colours, fragrances and preservatives.
  • It’s a gentle choice to help treat and protect baby’s delicate skin from nappy rash.
  • A clinical study* has shown that using Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment to help protect baby’s skin at nappy change leads to a lower incidence of nappy rash.

Where can I buy Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment?

Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment 100g, is distributed in all leading pharmacies as well as Coles and Woolworths.

  • So good

    Bepanthen cream has a nice scent and is easy to use for on the go.
    Its a good consistency and is easy to apply.
    Its great for sensitive skin and I feel it easier to spread then sudocream.
    My dad also used it on his tattoos when they were fresh.
    I hope this helps!

  • Love the stuff!

    I use bepanthen regularly and make sure I have some in stock because I LOVE it! I’ve tried other brands and other products but bepanthen seems to be the best in clearing the red from the skin. My son has a double chin and water gets trapped where is neck and chin meet and it can turn red, the first time I noticed it, I put bepanthen on it and in no time at all it was cleared up, I’ve previously used other products but havn’t gotten the same result. Very happy with bepanthen as a product, a small amount goes a long way!

  • Got rid of nappy rash in <12 hours!

    My daughter has very sensitive skin.. We use bepanthen not only for nappy rash but for grazes and eczma! Bepanthen has relieved our daughters nappy rash in less then 12hours! I would recommend bepanthen to all mothers as a must for the nappy caddy and bag! I always make sure I have plenty on hand and use it on a daily basis!

    Bepanthen is the only ointment I find to fully soothe as well as not stick too harshly to baby’s skin like sudocream. Bepanten , I also found, apart from use on baby and tattoos, is also great postpartum for all those painful grazes!

  • Best product.

    With sensitive skin, my baby is prone to nappy rash. I’ve been finding it very hard to find a product that helps soothe and heal her skin. Bepanthen is the only nappy cream so far to work so effectively as to soothe her discomfort and heal nappy rash and redness overnight.

  • Good for little bottoms

    We were selected to review Bepanthen nappy rash cream. Whilst we are in the midst of toilet training this cream is so helpful while our daughter is teething. She is getting two year old molars and her poor bottom has been a little red. Getting selected to review came at the exact right time and within about 24 hours I noticed no more red so whether you have a new born or a toilet training toddler this may be helpful for you.

  • Effective cream for nappy rash

    My baby’s bottom gets red from time to time and I find I only need a small amount of this cream, and it clears up straightaway. I’ve tried many different barrier creams and this is the top one I would recommend to family and friends. I’ll definitely be buying this product again.

  • My go-to for nappy rash

    This is my go-to for nappy rash. We use cloth nappies and it works well with the cloth nappies. It’s reasonably priced, smells and feels ok (compared to some other brands), and most importantly WORKS. It also comes in a variety of sizes which is handy. I always have a tube in my bag!

  • The only nappy cream you need.

    When pregnant I was given lots of different nappy cream recommendations. I purchased Bepanthen and have stuck with it ever since. Thankfully we never suffered severe nappy rash in my household, but Bepanthen was applied at the first signs of discomfort and had instant relief and effect. Very happy with this products and would strongly recommend.

  • Bepanthen cream

    Bepanthen Cream has been used for many years so this goes to shoe the great results it has given. I used it on nappy rashes on my kids and grandkids. I have used it for myself and I use it on any outer rashes and dry skin. I have even used it on the heels of my dry feet and received good results. The elbows which get dry and many other areas are beneficial to this product.

    I was using Sudocream but found this to be very thick, Bepanthen was similar but not as thick and easier to apply on my kids. Much easier to take around in the squeeze tube as well, I have one at home, in the kids bag and the car (for emergencies) I recommend this to all my mummy friends with little kids.

    I love how fast it works and how fast it soothes the sore nappy rashes.
    It was so smooth to go on which was great because I worry about hurting him more over the rash.
    He healed really quick and now I use it as a preventative during hot days when I worry he might get another rash

  • Best bottom cream on market

    This is the only nappy rash cream that i would recommend. Bepanthen nappy rash ointment is easy to use. The lid is easy to use mid nappy change, the ointment can be rubbed in clear or layered thickly. And the little bottoms are soothed. Not only is it good for nappy wearing littlies, but also for the bigger kids learning to wipes properly. Relief is quick and rashes clear overnight. This ointment also prevented rashes appearing. Can also be used on light excema with good result.

  • Amazing on sore bottoms

    I tried a few different nappy creams, but Bepanthen nappy rash ointment is the only one that soothed the red bottoms of my children. Not only did Bepanthen soothe, but it also helped prevent nappy rash in the first place. Bepanthen nappy rash ointment is easy to use and doesn’t stick to your fingers like others. It goes on smoothly and has a fresh smell. It creates a good barrier aswell. Two thumbs up from me.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

    Reply

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
